Slaw was the only thing alright, baos were the worst ones I ever tried I feel ripped off for what I got for 23 quid, absolutely disappointing, I have to say that I been a chef for 10 years so I kinda know what I’m saying is hard to do a tartare sauce that doesn’t taste good, you should try your peeps before you serve em and this… well this one was one of the awful ones, I’m sorry guys but it is what it is

Really enjoyed the Bao box. Two very tasty Bao buns, the pork one was the best. The fried dumplings and slaw were also delicious. A well organised and thought out market food stall with friendly staff. Hope to return.

The vegan tofu bao was super delicious! The bun was so soft and fluffy and it was all well spiced without being overly salty, which I find many foods are nowadays. The red chillies on top gave just the right amount of heat for me and the vegan may balanced the whole bao with its creamy and sour taste.Excellent service even during busy lunchtimes. It was so easy to use the click and collect function to order without needing to wait in the queueWill definitely be visiting againI just wish I had taken a picture before I devoured it!

Really loved their bun box! The pork bun was especially delicious and I will be coming back!

My absolute favorite take away food in London. I have recommended this place to so many people and they are always pleased. All of the buns are great (they have vegan and vegetarian options) but I love the Chicken Bun best. I always ask them to not add chilli since it is quite spicy. If you can, try to get the Bun Box because you get two buns of your choice, an Asian slaw salad and two gyoza. This always fills me up… but I always want more. It is just so delicious! It is not the healthiest choice but it’s a wonderful treat. Also, the staff is always upbeat, friendly and efficient.

Not my favorite food on earth but tasty and interesting. I bought the box with mushrooms and tofu bun and I enjoyed buns as well as gyoza. Service is quite slow.

This place is actually amazing. We are visiting from Australia and ended up here as they are open till late when not many other places were. It was so mind blowing we came back the next day for lunch and literally waited around for an hour for then to open just so we could have it again. Worth it. These buns are legit 10/10 and I'm sad we won't be able to eat here again. The crispy tofu bun in particular is a perfect dish, actually incredible. I highly recommend you go out of your way to come and eat here.

Tried for the first time. Only had a chicken bun, quite tasty. Sadly it was not not pulled chicken but a few crispy pieces. Left hungry but the bun is less than a fiver (ÂŁ5)

Poor quality bao buns. I tried the panko fish one. The quantity of fish was small, and the half the listed ingredients seemed missing (no lime or coriander that I was able to taste). It was also nuclear hot. Much better buns are available at other places.

Had the box of two mixed buns, one pork and another, chicken. It was quite good, I find it is best eaten as soon as it is made. It was my first time trying steamed buns and it was good. Worth a try.
